The Arpeggio effect and Chord trigger are sharing the
same cache memory where note messages to be sent
are stored.

The Hold effect of the Chord-Trigger also prevents the
forwarding of new notes in the Arpeggio effect.

On the other hand, the Arpeggio-Hold message has no
influence on the Chord mode, so that only the
transmission of incoming notes to the step positions
will be locked. Therefore: Chord-Hold-On: No further
notes are stored in the cache.

By Note-On, and we mean newly pressed notes, these
will not be accepted anymore in the Chord-Trigger.

By Note-Off, we mean released keys, provided that
they were struck previously, so that their state is valid
as they were effectively played.

Chord-Hold-Off: All Note-On and Note-Off messages
are accepted again in the cache memory.

Through purposeful sending of Chord-Hold-On/Off
messages you can, for example, build stacks of
complicated chord patterns.

Turning off the notes can be obtained by sending the
corresponding Note-Off messages or else by pressing
the Stop button twice.

The cache memory (stacking of notes via the cache
memory with the help of the Chord-Hold message) is
also working when the sequencer is stopped, and
allows you to tweak the chord patterns in dry run
conditions.

7.4.8.7 Effects combination

With the techniques seen in the menus, almost all
effects can be activated simultaneously.

Gater-Mode & Chord-Mode are mutually
exclusive.
When one of these modes is activated, the other
one is not available anymore. If the currently used
mode is no longer needed, it has to be switched
off, before access to the other one is possible.

As some parameters are common to both effects,
editing one of these effects could overwrite the data in
the other one.

While it is normally avoided to manipulate the
parameters this way, this can bring very interesting
results anyway.

It is however important to know with which priority the
effects are processed.

The processing order of the effects is: The Arpeggio
comes first, then the Record-Step, the Transpose
calculation follows, and the Overdub capture is closing
the list.

Both the Gater and the Chord-Trigger run from the
first effects mentioned in the previously explained
independent settings.

A note change in the Chord-Trigger function will not
be effective on the chords already struck, but from the
next occurrence onwards.

7.4.9. Edit/Mute mode

This menu handles the behavior of the Track-Select &
Mute buttons.

Normally, you will select or mute a specific track by
pressing its accompanying button. This is the “Single
Mode” for which these buttons were planned.

Track >_2_____m<

EditMode:Single

Changing this mode to “multi” allows you to activate
multiple buttons simultaneously. This is the default
mode for the Mute buttons.

Track >_2_____m<

MuteMode:Multi

The third possibility is:

Track >_2_____m<

MuteMode:SingInv

Where all buttons will be selected to the exception of
the one just depressed. This setting of the mute mode
is corresponding to a Solo function.

You may find another mode such as “Single” very
useful too.

With “Multi” you can select and edit multiple tracks
at once. In this case, the edited values will be identical
in the different tracks.

It offers you a simple and fast way of realizing
horizontal editing, without calling, and editing each
track repeatedly.

Cleverly changing and combining the various edit
modes can spare you a lot of work.

7.4.10 Unused

To date this button is unused. It could be assigned to
new functions to be implemented in forthcoming
versions of the software (such as V2.XX, where XX
